Inteligencia emocional, salud y desarrollo Identitario: un estudio exploratorio de su relación en población LGTB

Autores/as

Resumen

Actualmente, los estudios acerca del impacto negativo de la LGTBfobia tienen el reto de hallar factores de protección para el colectivo LGTB. Este estudio exploratorio analiza la relación entre la inteligencia emocional (IE), la salud y la identidad de 1215 personas. Para ello, se identificaron cuatro perfiles con un análisis clúster que combinaba las tres dimensiones de IE: uno con puntuaciones altas en las tres áreas e, inversamente, otro con bajas; un tercero que destaca por su alta reparación y otro con alta atención y baja reparación. Los resultados evidencian notables diferencias en salud y desarrollo identitario. Las personas con índices medio-altos en claridad y reparación tienen menos alteraciones de salud, es decir, mayor autoestima, satisfacción y aceptación identitaria. Es necesario considerar las implicaciones de este trabajo en la práctica profesional de quienes tratan de promover la salud y las experiencias positivas de la comunidad LGTB en contextos desfavorables.
